 How Do Farmers Observe the Health of their Soil and What Tools do they Use? PART AFarmers know that soil health is critical to their success. They thus learn to observe nature keenly and to use their observations for refining their farm management practices. Written records are important tools and the farmer should use them to keep track of all information about individual fields. Why Buffer Weedicides and How Do You Do It?Weeds are considered significant threats to natural ecosystems. To the farmer, weeds are also a major threat to farm economics. Weeds interfere with crop growth, choke pastures and may even harm farm animals. Organic Yields Are Better Than Conventional, Including GM CropsThere are many claims being bruited about that organic farming yields can never produce enough to meet the food demands of the growing global population. This is a myth. Organic Yields Are Better Than Conventional, Including GM CropsThere are many claims being bruited about that organic farming yields can never produce enough to meet the food demands of the growing global population. This is a myth. Why Higher Brix Readings in Forage Makes Animal Raising More Profitable?The Brix reading on a plant is an indication of its nutrient content. Whilst the reading is often considered as the sugar content in that part of the plant being tested, it actually refers to the total amount of soluble solids, that is, sugars along with plant proteins, vitamins, and minerals. The Detrimental Effects of Chemicals on Soil FungiFungi and bacteria in the soil are the primary recyclers of nutrients in the soil. Whilst bacteria are much more numerous, fungi provide greater biomass because they are relatively bigger. The Importance of Carbon in the Soil and How it Gets StoredSoil organic carbon, which makes up about 60% of the soil organic matter on average, has beneficial effects on many physical, chemical and biological functions of soil quality. If You Are Using Chemical Fertilizers, How do these Affect Brix Meters results?People today are more conscious about the nutrition content of the foods they eat. Farmers who are able to provide highly nutritious food will receive premium prices and have many repeat customers. How Do Plants Get Nutrients in the Soil in a Conventional Farming System?Plants need an adequate supply of nutrients — particularly nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium — to grow well. Ideally, these nutrients should be available in the proper quantity and at the time the plant can use them. How Do Plants Get Nutrients in the Soil in a Biological Farming System?Plants take up nutrient elements from the soil through their roots. Plants need nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in large amounts; very often, these elements are not available in adequate quantities in the soil.
